Surgical: A tribe in the hills

Good morning Master, I also can not find Suzanne. Jackie went directly to the point. I Kno Master Du Gu Yan suddenly said. To the surprise of the two.

Did you send them on an errand Master? Jackie asked. No they were abducted. Replied Master Du Gu Yan

I felt an unfamiliar presence yesternight while you were all asleep. I headed towards the place I sensed the strange aura but it was gone without trace.

I realized it was the girls court so I checked to see if they were alright. But I found this letter instead. Master Du Gu Yan passed the letter and Jackie collected it immediately and read it out loud.

"The Ming sect are conquering sects and tribes in order to gain strength against the blood sun. I wanted to overlook it but their strength is becoming massive.

And they might be very tough handle in the nearest future. It will cost me a lot if I want to stop them alone. So I ask for an alliance with you.

I have also set a tournament to decide the leader of the alliance. Send two of your best disciples.They are free to take the girls home after the tournament even if they dont win the tournament."

So what do we do now? Hao asked. Get ready for the tournament Master Du Gu Yan replied. And await they're message again.

Just at they were speaking, a messenger pigeon dropped another paper and flew away Jackie immediately picked up the paper and read again.

" The tournament takes place in a week time, by sunrise, at the hilly valleys, one on one battle with members of my tribe."

Behind the paper was a scribble " The host"

*†***†***†***†***†***†***†***†*

At the tournament ground, Jackie and Hao Du were standing eyes closed, meditating,and waiting for the host competitors to arrive.

They were standing still for over thirty minutes whenbthey suddenly heard a voice echoing in the air. "The wudang temple is really punctual."

I can also see how punctual your sect is. Hao Du replied. Suddenly they felt a strong aura surging towards them.

Jackie and Hao Du stood unfazed. They did not even open their eyes, not even a flinch from them till the aura suddenly came to halt right in front of them. Then they both opened their eyes.

There was a large multitude around them but they did not even notice. All were martial artist, and they all arrived so silently with their auras hidden that Jackie and Hao Du were not even aware as their eyes were closed.

Where are the girls? Was Jackie's first sentence. The man just turned back and flew back to the edge of the tournament ground where a seat was situated .

I am Cu Tianzheng the leader of my tribe with me here is my wife cu wenren, he gestured to a beautiful lady sitting beside him.

Bring the girls out! He ordered and two ladies appeared out of the crowd with Suzanne and Rosanne. The girls were also martial artist. One can even tell from their physique.

Suzanne and Rosanne looked ohkay which made Jackie and Hao Du's mind at ease.

Since we are here let the tournament begin, Jackie said.
